Dogs suffering from either primary or secondary glaucoma may experience one or more of the following symptoms: Watery discharge from the eye. Eye pain is also a symptom, which can be noticed by eye rubbing or turning away when being pet. Bulging of the eyeball can also occur, with the whites of the eye turning red. A cloudy, bluish appearance to the eye is another possible symptom. The pupil may be dilated, or it may not respond to light.
Other symptoms include swelling of the eye and less desire to play, as well as vision loss. Chronic glaucoma can take some time to develop and begin causing symptoms, but acute glaucoma occurs very suddenly. If your dog is showing any of the symptoms listed above contact your vet immediately or visit the nearest emergency veterinary hospital for urgent care.
